Ray,
Happy New Year, I asked to join the Texas Pool player Group, I know I'm not from Texas, but I almost moved there in 96 and I have played pool all over Texas. And I love the People from Texas one of my best friends in vegas is from Texas, we play often. Texans are their own republic and I love'em. So if its cool I'd like to be part of that group, if not I wont be upset at all I understand if you dont want a California Boy in your group.
take care,
Eric
